Complementary Medicine / Re: Usefulness of Glyconutrients
« on: 07/12/2005 22:18:41 »
For those who are researching glyconutrients, and their effectiveness:
Glycobiology and Glycoscience both refer to the new emerging science which seeks to understand the chemistry, biochemistry and physiology of glyconutriens and glyconjugates, and their applications to health and disease.
Glyconutrients are a food supplement, and do not treat, mitigate, or cure any disease. Glyconutrients refer specifically to the eight monosacharides (sugars) commonly found in glycoproteins and glycolipids. They are nutrients inasmuch as they can be supplied exogenously in dietary foods or food supplements. They are absorbed efficiently in the body.
The 8 monosaccharides are:
Glucose
Galactose
Fucose
Mannose
Xylose
N-acetylglucosamine
N-acetylgalactosamine
N-acetylneuraminic acid
Some papers/articles on glyconutrients and the Immune System:
